[QUOTE="BSK, post: 1962479, member: 17"] We're not attempting to produce any particular basal area left standing. We're just trying to maximize sunlight on the ground while still having acorn production for oak regeneration. In addition, I hope to produce very "spotty" habitat in the cuts to maximize habitat diversity (a grove of trees left standing here and there in the cuts instead of single, individual trees). A few mature oaks left standing would work better for acorn production, but those are also the "high dollar" trees at the mill. Since we're asking the loggers to cut in strange patterns (little scattered cuts instead of one big cut) we want to keep them happy as well (high monetary return for everyone involved). [/QUOTE]
